Don't know how this is newsworthy until/unless it passes. Some state rebelling against an old 1993 urge to promote sustainability, environmental protection, and other nice-sounding purposes. Does anybody listen to the UN non-binding resolutions, anyways? This is a big who-cares passage. One state against one nonbinding list of principles (I mean, seriously, wtf did it even accomplish, anyways). It's ho hum, just as much as if the state of California passed a nonbinding resolution to encourage the propagation of sustainable energy sources and the elimination or severe reduction in pollution. Flowery words, words, words, and nothing more.

(Also, the collective Knee Jerk reaction to pretend ramifications of all this is very humorous)

Why are proposals worth being news? Anyone can propose the stupidest shit imaginable, that doesn't mean it's real. IF it passes, THEN it becomes news.

yeah... that excerpt is ridiculous. Maybe an excerpt from the law not a biased news source, because whatever the source, short of the law itself, I cannot believe anything actually says, you may not use energy efficient bulbs. Maybe it says that Arizona doesn't have to stick to U.N. regulations, but I cannot imagine it says cannot under any circumstances follow any advice or regulation given by UN just to stick it to them :s sounds like sensationalism at its best

A. The state of Arizona and all political subdivisions of this state
shall not adopt or implement the creed, doctrine, principles or any tenet of
the United Nations Rio Declaration on Environment and Development and the
Statement of Principles for Sustainable Development adopted at the United
Nations Conference on Environment and Development held in Rio de Janeiro,
Brazil in June, 1992 or any other international law that contravenes the
United States Constitution or the Constitution of Arizona.
B. Since the United Nations has enlisted the support of numerous
independent, shadow organizations to surreptitiously implement this agenda
around the world, the state of Arizona and all political subdivisions are
prohibited from implementing programs of, expending any sum of money for,
being a member of, receiving funding from, contracting services from, or
giving financial or other forms of aid to the International Council for Local
Environmental Initiatives or any of its related or affiliated organizations
including Countdown 2010, Local Action for Biodiversity, European Center for
Nature Conservation, the International Union for Conservation of Nature, and
the President's Council on Sustainable Development, enacted on July 19, 1993
by Executive Order 12852.

I figured that as well, but here is the first two paragraphs of the bill.



This hypocritical as fuck, too. Their quickness to remove anything 'big government' in their state to protect individual liberty has gone so far that the state government is now infringing on personal liberties by saying people CAN'T do something that they would do probably without any knowledge of the UN resolution.

lulz. That excerpt is pretty ridiculous as well. Thanks. I do wonder where they would draw the line on that. Definitely a stupidly written law.

For the purposes of this section, "political subdivision" means all
state, county, city, town, public local entity, public-partnership or any
other public entity."

As a European with little knowledge of all the different states, can someone explain to me why it's always Arizona that seems to appears in these strange stories. Whenever I find myself doing some old-fashioned facepalming at the insanity of the US legal system, it seems to center around Arizona in particular.

What is it about that state? Is it a cultural thing or does the education system there just not function as intended?
